Looks good!

Hate spending money on tyres. Got to be done though.

Looks about the same as the other week in Nozawa perhaps a bit lower

You visiting every city with per 1 million people?!?!

That's the same at a few places around Nagano/Niigata.

snowjunky, you do realise that it's real name is Yokoteyama　横手山 (yo not ya).....

When helmets have more gadgets in them, perhaps more young'uns will be into them.

I love the Nikko area as well, would like to explore it more. Haven't been up to see that 2nd waterfall you have there muika looks great.

If I tried I would fail and so I don't try. I'm not being pessimistic just realistic.

I would have said Kawaba as well.

Now closed, sadly.

I always come back to my light yellow/orange ones, kusanagi.

well yeah those people would over-rate it. I love it, perhaps I even under-rate it.

They are in the region but further afield than say the resorts are in Hakuba and Yuzawa.

Awesome. Looks like you had a better day than me, I just lazed about with a bit of a sore throat and didn't do much at all.

I always thing it must be such a stressful thing being a business that relies on the weather - ski resorts, associated hotels etc.

Haha me too. I tried it once and it was fun but doesn't compare to the speed of downhill. It sure beats jogging though. My sister loves cross country.

I've decided to take a trip up to Zao this year for perhaps 3 nights. The monsters seems to be their best in mid February and sometimes quickly deteriorate late Feb / early March. So perhaps thats the best time. Weekday of course.

Good man.

The world is due to end in December so it's irrelevant really when you think about it.

Some places really do hang on, don't they. Still incredible how many places there are when you think about it. Does any other country have the mad numbers like here?

Best is difficult. I thought George was great. Used to love Sean but after re-watching of late, I think I over-rated. His last two he was obviously not in shape and couldn't give a crap, the films were good despite of that. Worst is easy. Quantum of Solace.

Why not? How much do you spend on lift tickets each season?

Gladly! Just do your sitting on your bum out of the way, not right in the way of everyone at the top of a slope, ok?
